As she navigates the treacherous world of the Magicians’ Guild, Sonea must confront her own fears and prejudices while uncovering a dark secret that threatens the very fabric of her society.

A World Divided: The Hierarchy of Magic

In the city of Imardin, magic is both revered and feared. The Magicians’ Guild, the ruling body of magic users, holds immense power and influence over the city. However, not everyone is allowed to practice magic. The city is divided into two distinct classes: the wealthy and privileged magicians, and the common folk known as the “dwellers.” This stark division creates a palpable tension between the two groups, leading to resentment and distrust.

Sonea’s Journey: From Outcast to Prodigy

Sonea, a young dweller girl, accidentally discovers her magical abilities when she unleashes a powerful force against a group of magicians. Fearing for her life, she becomes a fugitive, pursued by the Magicians’ Guild. As Sonea struggles to control her newfound powers, she finds herself torn between her desire for revenge against the magicians who have oppressed her people and her growing fascination with the world of magic.

Through a series of trials and tribulations, Sonea is eventually captured and forced to join the Magicians’ Guild as an apprentice. As the only dweller to ever possess such immense power, she becomes a source of both curiosity and fear among her fellow magicians. Sonea must navigate the complex politics and rivalries within the Guild while honing her skills and proving herself worthy of her place.
